Expert Reply:

To reduce the rattle on a 2" trailer hitch extender like the Brophy Hitch Extender # HE06, the best option is a clamp, the Brophy Stabilizer Clamp and U-Bolt for 2" Hitch Receiver # RSCP.

This stabilizer is simple to use, clamping onto your hitch and helping minimize any rattle.

I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Brophy Stabilizer Clamp and U-Bolt for 2" Hitch Receiver # RSCP.
